It’s not an NBA day without the name of Kyrie Irving being brought up. But this time around, it was for an entirely different topic.

If there’s one thing that’s as sure as the sun rising tomorrow, it’s the fact that a day feels absolutely empty without reading about Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons.

Nets head coach Steve Nash probably had a sense of how his early-season rotation might have looked one month ago. It’s probably a lot different today.

The Kyrie Irving situation heated up in a hurry and for now, it appears things might be as bad as anyone reasonable could have imagined back when this story began unfolding.

At this point, it’s KD’s social media game that is already […]

There aren’t too many people who are backing Kyrie Irving right now with regards to the Brooklyn Nets superstar’s refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
